SPANISH POTATO OMELET



Spanish Potato Omelet image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 small onions, sliced
5 small Yukon gold potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 large eggs, at room temperature
6 cloves garlic, chopped
6 large pimiento-stuffed olives, thinly sliced or coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
3/4 cup coarsely chopped or crumbled feta (about 3 ounces)
Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus sprigs for garnish
One 15-to-16-ounce bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained, juices reserved
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup Marcona almonds or hazelnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, peeled, chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add 2/3 cup water and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Scrape the potato mixture into a large bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Wipe out and reserve the skillet. The potato mixture can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
  • Combine the eggs, garlic, olives, parsley, thyme and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl. Fold in the cheese and the cooled potato mixture.
  • Preheat the broiler. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading evenly. Cook, uncovered, until the sides are set and the top edge begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Run a flexible heatproof rubber spatula around the sides of the pan to loosen the omelet. Cover tightly; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the center is almost set, about 5 minutes.
  • Broil the omelet until the top is fully cooked and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the omelet rest for 2 minutes. Loosen the omelet again around the sides and underneath as far as possible. Slide the omelet onto a platter and garnish with parsley and thyme sprigs. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature with Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce.
  • Combine the bell peppers, oil, tomato paste, almonds, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, blend in the reserved roasted bell pepper juice, 1 teaspoonful at a time, to thin out the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

FERRAN ADRIà'S POTATO CHIP OMELET



Ferran Adrià's Potato Chip Omelet image

This recipe, adapted from the cookbook "The Family Meal: Home Cooking With Ferran Adrià" (Phaidon, 2011), is a study in simplicity. The chef of El Bulli, the famous Spanish restaurant, Mr. Adrià created an omelet reminiscent of a Spanish tortilla that comes together in minutes using only eggs, salted potato chips and olive oil. As with any recipe calling for just a few ingredients, quality truly matters here, so opt for the best potato chips, the finest olive oil and the freshest eggs. There's no need to season the dish with salt, Mr. Adrià advises, since the chips are already salted, but serving the omelet with salt and pepper adds nuance. If you like, add finely sliced chives, a handful of grated Manchego or perhaps a pinch of piment d'Espelette or paprika like a true tortilla Española.

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 large eggs
6 ounces potato chips (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. (If you have a balloon whisk, now is the time to use it: It will aerate better than a standard whisk, and should take half the time and effort. Either way, your arm will burn by the end of this, but a fluffy, puffy omelet will be your reward.)
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium.
  • Add the chips to the eggs. Using a plastic spatula, gently fold a few times to ensure chips are coated. Let the chips soak for 1 minute.
  • Pour the mixture into the skillet, using the spatula to spread the potatoes into an even layer, then to loosen the omelet from the sides of the pan.
  • After the bottom of the omelet is just about set - it should barely take on color but the top isn't completely set - 3 to 4 minutes, cover the omelet with an upside-down plate or a large, flat lid. Holding one hand flat against the plate and holding the skillet by its handle, gently flip over the omelet to release it onto the plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then carefully slide the omelet from the plate, uncooked-side-down, into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate, slice and serve immediately.
